Shortly after 8.30pm on Monday 21 July 2014 a young man entered the Himalayan Kitchen on Invermay Road Mowbray armed with a metal bar.

He demanded money while threatening staff with the metal bar. While the man was demanding money, his accomplice, a woman, entered the restaurant and then both offenders then left with a small amount of cash. They got in to an older model white Mitsubishi Magna sedan parked on the street with other people inside and drove off at speed.

Both the man and woman were described as being in the early teens.

At about 9pm two men entered Blockbuster Video at Kings Meadows with a metal bar and demanded cash from the attendant. One offender went behind the counter and took a small amount of cash from the till and the attendant’s mobile phone was stolen as the offenders were both leaving through the main door.

The men were seen getting into an older model white Mitsubishi Magna sedan which again sped off out of the car park with other people inside the vehicle.

Both men in this robbery were described as being in their mid to late teens.
